Interesting. Personally, I don’t know any girls with sideburns like that. If you do, then I have some unfortunate news for you.

He is here. Lives next to the grandkids. Very active with them. Seems to be a real likable and happy guy.

78 now trips to California and brings home edibles. The hallucinations often produce threads about Trailerbammer QBs and other such nonsense.

One of the most famous games in Gator history was Florida's 10 - 6 victory over Alabama at Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa 1963. Joe Namath Number 12 was the quarterback for Alabama. Alabama was ranked number 3 in the polls. Florida had just come off a lackluster 35 - 28 win against the Richmond Spiders. According to an article written by Gator historian Norm Carlson, Florida defensive coach Otis Mooney called the Gators the New York Mets of the SEC. This game was also significant because it was Bear Bryant's first loss in Tuscaloosa. Now granted back then Alabama played most of its big games at Legion Field in Birmingham. Denny Stadium was much smaller back then than Legion Field.
The play that broke Alabama's back was Dick Kirk's 42 yard run for a touchdown that gave Florida a 10 - 0 lead. If you go to the 7:15 mark on the video you can watch this dramatic run. The video is blurry but clearer than most of it at the part showing Kirk's run. From what I've read of the game the score could have been higher because the Gators were stalled on two drives inside the ten yard line. Namath scored on a one yard run with just over two minutes left in the game to avoid the shut out. It was a huge upset. Bonfires were set off on University Avenue.

He does. I lived in Tequesta and used to see him around town occasionally. He also did local charity events if I recall. Really good guy. And typical hammered when I saw him.

I watched the run. I didn’t realize Kyle Jackson’s grandfather played for Bama.

That footage looks like vintage 1927. I was half expecting Charlie Chaplin to carry the ball, assuming I could even make him out.

Maybe thats why Ox has never put up a picture of his Little War Eagle wife.
